Here are some testimonials from people I totally made up never met before:
“I didn’t think much of my answer from the book, ‘tinted windows.’ But that very day when I got in my car, I realized I was looking through tinted windows–then the woman ahead of me paid my toll. This book is a miracle!” MV, New Jersey
“Getting ‘dog tricks’ gave me new incentive to train my Jack Russell terrier. It’s only been a month, and I can tell he’s considering sitting now. Progress!” FF, Georgia
“Uh, ‘butter steamed carrots’? WTF?” TR, Wisconsin
Okay, so they’re not ALL winners. But if you want something to be happy about, or at least something to say WTF? about, please comment with a page number between 1 and 611, and another number between 1 and 25, and we’ll see what happens.
Do it for Bambi.
Dash would like 342 number 18
I would like 131 number 2
(hee hee I said number 2 von your journal)
Dash:
“alternating the books you’re reading”
You:
“potato and cheese blintzes as large as toss pillows”
Dash IS alternating books right now … Ivanhoe and A Tale of Two Cities.
I don’t know what a blintz is
insery IMAHO joke here … HEE HEE
That’s what the Internet is for. I mean, besides stalking.
Blintz – A very thin pancake that is rolled up to encase either sweet or savory fillings. The most common fillings are cottage or ricotta cheese, fruits, and meat mixtures. Often sautéed and served with sour cream.
I don’t like sour cream … I will never pick number 2 again.
If you continue to be difficult, you’ll make Bambi cry. And that’s just mean.
I have thought of a response so course that even I blush at the thought, and can’t type the words … however I will sit here and chuckle madly to myself …
It doesn’t like you either.
Is Dash reading the Wishbone versions?
of course! He loves Wishbone! But then, who doesn’t!
page 549, number 15 please.
“carrying a bunch of tennis rackets”
yeah, that sounds like fun…
Are you mocking the book? Because even if you don’t play tennis, you can use the rackets to kill palmetto bugs–and to thwart muggers. Not everyone has a bag of dog poop handy.
just how many rackets is she carrying… a bunch implies more then three, that sounds like, oh I don’t know .. WORK.
Okay, what if she was carrying FOUR rackets? And what if she was carrying them because she’s playing mixed doubles with, I don’t know, Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman, and Margaret Cho? That sounds like a GOOD TIME to me! I mean, except for the playing tennis part.
IMPOSSIBLE! Johnny would carry the rackets FOR her — therefore he is NOT involved! Why is Hugh such a priss that he can’t help?
I have to tell you, I’d carry a tennis racket for Johnny or Hugh any day. I’d carry it right over to a table at Starbucks, of course, but still…
as I said Johnny wouldn’t let you …. he’s a gentleman. Hugh apparently is one of those Hollywood big shot types.
What has any of this got to do with me getting some waffles?
eat the blintzs!
I had an awesome image to post here to show why carrying tennis rackets would make you happy, but for some reason I can’t post it here. I blame Marika.
Maybe the fun comes in with the tennis players (male, of course) associated with those rackets.

“comfort food”
I’ll take those potato and cheese blintzes.
Rick, OH
Can I have page 400, item # 25, please? : )
“bodies of water that collect on upturned mugs in the dishwasher”
Who– who— in their right minds likes that?Thank you, Becky! : )You’re welcome!
Is that question I can’t see rhetorical? Or would you like some answers?
No, but I would like some waffles. Damn it, what page # is “waffles” on?
I see Mr. Surly is back. That didn’t take long.
haha! One of these days I’m going to request the magic page and item, and peace will reign. : )
The waffles are on page Get Your Ass To Houston And I’ll Make You Some.
You’re in for a dog-earing with talk like that.
That’s funny. Tim never makes waffles for me…
I make awesome waffles.
Flipping through random pages of the book, I saw waffles listed on pp. 2, 596, 25, 584…
Good luck!
Just knowing they’re in there makes me feel that much better. : )
Praise be.
That wouldn’t make me happy at all. =(
The bodies of water one? I can give you examples of why it could be happy. If you stumbled into your kitchen one morning desperately needing coffee, and there were no mugs, and you’d forgotten to run the dishwasher, so you opened it to take out a mug to wash, then realized by the water on top of the mug that your better half had NOT forgotten to run the dishwasher, so you didn’t have to delay your coffee another second, that would make you happy.
If you’d had the repairman out three times to fix your dishwasher, and you washed another load of dishes with your fingers crossed, hoping THIS time there would be actual water, and it would have rinsed off all the soap, then you opened the dishwasher when the cycle was finished and saw beautiful clear water pooled on the tops of your coffee mugs, that would make you happy.
If for days it had been raining, and you were tired of walking the dog in the rain and driving in the rain and hearing the rain, and just as you opened your dishwasher and pulled out the top rack, a shaft of sunlight broke through the clouds and your window and made rainbows in the water on the tops of your mugs, that would make you happy.
It’s all a matter of perspective. =)
Page 24, # 6, please.
“potpourris of dried flower petals, herbs, and aromatic spices”
Yeah, Bambi! Can I please have 464, 21?
“kick lines”
Kick lines – awesome! (What are kick lines?)
I love it when you make me laugh out loud like that. They MAY have something to do with football or soccer, too, but the kick lines I’m familiar with are dancers, like NYC’s Rockettes.

Ahh… didn’t like to sound ungrateful but I had no idea! I like the dancing option best. 🙂
page waffle, number waffle, please.
(or pg. 74, #15)
“slumps, grunts, buckles, Bettys, and pandowdies”
(I had to Google it.)
well, there you go!
(me too)
I don’t know if anyone has already skipped all the way to the end, but… page 611, number 25, if you please, Bambi.
Love,
Thumper (dba Jeffrey R.)
The last page doesn’t go up to 25, so I picked the very last one on that page–which I think you will like:
“dozens of places to curl up with a book”
Oh my god, perfect.
Jeffrey R.
page 9, # 12 please.
